Description

She can run but she can not hide…

As her father’s only heir, Catherine Cottingham expects to inherit their sprawling property in the Hunter Valley. What she doesn’t be aware is why her father is attempting to push her into a marriage to the pompous and repulsive Sydney businessman Henry W. Bartholomew.

When the will is read it becomes clear money, or the lack of it, lay at the back of her father’s plans. Catherine is mortified – as a married woman all her possessions will pass to her husband, the overbearing Bartholomew. Her only alternative is to wait until her twenty–first birthday and inherit the property in her own right, but can she elude one of these made up our minds man until then?

A chance encounter with a travelling circus and its fiery lead performer, Sergey Petrov, offers the very best solution and Catherine escapes to the goldfields. But there’s more to the circus than spangles and sawdust and Catherine finds herself drawn into a far–reaching internet of fraud and forgery…

A stunning new novel from the bestselling creator of The Horse Thief and The Cedar Cutter
